“Everything was tried right up to the start of the shooting, but the weather kept getting worse, especially the visibility of the shooting range,” said sports director Felix Bitterling from the German Ski Association: “In particular, an individual with four shootings makes no sense. That is The only right decision is to try to do that tomorrow.”
It is not yet clear when exactly the 15 kilometer competition on Holmenkollen will take place. The men’s competition is also scheduled for Friday, but this could now be postponed. “The weather after 12 p.m. should be good. We’ll do the women first, then the men,” said race director Borut Nunar from the IBU world association to ZDF. In addition to fog, temperatures and continuous rain are also causing problems in the Norwegian capital. “It will be better tomorrow, that’s what the weather service told us,” said Nunar.
